Paid out £3300 to have my kerb dropped outside my house
Ouch!!
Quite ridiculous really, £800 for a virgin media manhole and £1100 for a street light to be moved 2 metres so I could drop the kerb, that cost £1400.

Could you not have parked somewhere else?
No, what’s the point in that when I can park right outside my front door?

That's just lazy.

I feel your pain... I had to pay the thick end of £2k for BT to move a telegraph pole 10 meters up the hill. I wouldn't mind but my Grandad asked for it to be put in the position I then had to move it from .....
Makes zero sense to park away from my house, I’ve paid it now so it’s doneThat's just lazy.
Same happened to me, 2 months before I moved into this house, next door had the street light moved from the middle of their garden to right outside mine
Anyone know whether this fireplace is intended to have logs/fire on that grill at the bottom? If I lift the grill, it has a basket underneath. Do I need any other parts?
I've burnt some newspaper and it comes out the chimney and the flue looks open, but planning on getting it checked!

Cheers. Not too sure about it myself, it's in the kitchen and doesn't really go with the decor. Although think we might try and paint it or something as would prefer not to remove it
Would something like this suffice?

Tidied my garage bench. A mate then rang so I sat on my swivel chair and slowly kept turning round - Why do we hoard so much junk. - Mine is all neatly stacked in bins on the shelves so it's not untidy -- Just full of stuff I might need one day - I can tell you this for certain -It will outlast me.

Not so much a man job, but painting a bedroom, I have just the 2nd coat to do in a couple of hours, I really hate painting but will be pleased when its finally finished, only taking me almost 2 months on and off to decorate the room!

Got round to sorting a storm / wind felled tree in the back garden
Thinner stuff broken down and transferred to the kindling store for next year
Remaining trunk chopped back then into sections to the medium store to dry out for next season too
What did you use to cut the medium logs, looks a nice clean cut upon them?
An electric saw - CBA starting the chainsaw up for that - the saw whizzed through quickly enough
